Hope someone can shed some light on this for me , as it seems the fans tend to come on after every other journey ever since the emissions update .
I know it is also a sign of the DPF regenerating just worried it's happening a lot !
Many thanks in advance

Re: **VW emissions affected roccos **
When my car was in, I just signed a disclaimer and told them not to do the update. If you do get it done though, you do get a free gift of a pen, keyring and flask mug. I bet the US customers are really jealous as they only got a few thousand dollars... What happens when it comes to future MOT test...

Re: Had a mare !
Ouch! Has it changed the sill to door gap above where its been hit? If not I'd probably learn to live with it rather than have someone pull it out and respray it. No not at all mate the door gap between sill and bottom of the door hasn't changed .... looks worse than it is in real life ! ..... just...

Windscreen wiper twitch
Whenever I remove the key the widescreen wiper on the left hand side seems to twitch slightly , has anyone else had this and also is it normal ?
I do have automatic wipers not sure whether this has something to do with it ?
Many thanks in advance

Cold DSG , sluggish ?
I may be stating the obvious but when cold the DSG box doesn't seem as sharp , I only ask as I've only had the rocco a month and ever since it has been snowing and haven't covered a long journey yet?
Is it typical for the dsg not to be as responsive or sharp when cold ?
Many thanks in advance
